Mateusz Kołodziejski prize money
Mateusz Kołodziejski has been paid $38,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 773rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's high jump, one of them a win.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2026 | High jump | 1st | $30,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2026 | High jump | 4th | $3,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2026 | High jump | =4th | $2,750 |

| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2025 | High jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| All five | Men's high jump | - | $38,250 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $38,250 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

How does the Diamond League decide what Mateusz Kołodziejski gets paid?
Entirely by where he finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a win is worth the same in the men's high jump as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
How many Diamond League meetings has Mateusz Kołodziejski won?
One of five, worth $30,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $30,000.
Is this everything Mateusz Kołodziejski earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. It holds no championship prize money, no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
